REMINDER: Donating to Ukrainian Crisis Appeal

A friendly reminder to please put monies collected at your activity into the Food Bank jar for the Ukrainian Emergency Appeal, whether it be half your “Share the Wealth” or monies you intended to give to the Club. If you have $200 to give to the Club, why don’t you give $100 to the Food Bank jar and $100 to the Club?

For the Food Bank jar, it will be monetary donations only (cash or cheque). No Food. Food donations will still go to the Elmvale and Wasaga Food Bank as usual so continue bringing those food items in.

Also, if you know of an organization other than Red Cross that will get the money to Ukraine, please let me know, and we will go with that group.

Thank you for your anticipated support of this emergency appeal.

We Have Room to Add YOU to Chair Yoga!

Everyone who has been attending our Chair Yoga classes love them. We have a few members who thought they wouldn’t come out for anything, gave it a try and are pleased they did. 

Great news! We have room to add YOU to our class. If you were wanting to join the group, and we had a limit on our numbers, now you can. There are three sessions left Tuesday mornings at 10:00 am. And you will be able to pick it up on your first time out.

If you have any questions, give Cheryl a call – she would be more than happy to talk to you.  She can be reached at 705-361-3933 or you can email her upnorthnurse@hotmail.com.

Om Shanti,

Our Sound System Key

Would the member who has the key for the sound system, please return it to Office.

If the office is closed, drop it in the mail slot on the door.

If we don’t receive it in the next day or so, we will change the lock.

Thank you

Club Was Entered By Unauthorized Member

Huronia Alarms advised us on Saturday, April 23, one of our members entered the club while the Club was closed. This member entered without signing in and did not disarm the alarm. The Board is more upset that our member did NOT FOLLOW PROPER PROCEDURES when entering the building.

I know I’m not going to get you to identify yourself, but would you please ask someone to show you the proper rules of the Club moving forward.

Bill Brown (in this case) or I then must go to the club, inspect all the doors, etc. and reset the alarm. This can be midnight most times. I’m sure you wouldn’t appreciate having to run out at this time.

PLEASE, IF YOU NEED TO GET INTO THE CLUB, FOLLOW PROCEDURES.

THANK YOU!

Bay Shore Is Opening Monday, April 25th

Thank you for letting me know, Monday is not the 27th! Sorry about that.

Bay Shore is opening Monday, April 25th!

All protocols are in place – wearing masks at all times, even when you are 2 feet away from one another. We have been able to keep our club safe so far; let’s keep up the vigilance. And, of course, everyone must be double vaxed. Congratulations to all of you!

I look forward to seeing you back and enjoying all our great activities.

Looking for a Caterer

I have been asked to find a caterer for a function that is being held at Bay Shore end of June. Has anyone used caterers recently,  and can recommend one? I was originally looking for Nica. The last time we had her was Volunteer Night in 2019.

Due to Covid, we haven’t been in touch since. Does anyone know where she is presently, or have a number to contact her? Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
